Statistics Programming

The first lines of computer code you write can use free statistics tools to analyze and plot spreadsheet data.

Are you tired of hunting down the right button in Excel, SPSS, or Matlab? In this workshop designed for graduate students with zero programming experience, we will explore how to perform statistical analyses on spreadsheet data using free, popular, powerful, and professional tools.

Python is one of the most popular programming languages used by statisticians today. Python and its statistics libraries are also free and open source. This means that research projects that use Python encourage reproducibility, transparency, and peer review far more than proprietary statistics tools. If you care about reproducibility, transparency, and peer review in research, then this workshop is for you!

Run computer code on their personal devices to run statistical analyses.
